The deadlines for receipt of standard R01 applications under this announcement are: February 5, June 5, and October 5 annually. This program will expire on . SYNOPSIS: The sponsor invites applications for research to examine the interconnections of asthma and obesity. The prevalences of both asthma and obesity have significantly risen in the past few decades. Although the association between these 2 conditions has been found in many studies, the exact mechanisms for how this association arises are unresolved. Because both of these conditions have their beginnings in early life, an aspect of the association between them that requires more understanding is their common exposures in early life. Studies that investigate the molecular pathways linking asthma and obesity are encouraged. In addition, intervention studies targeting asthma or obesity and their effects on each one, and possible mechanisms of action are encouraged. This FOA will use the NIH Research Project (R01) award mechanism. --------------------------------------------------------------- Program Number: 08117 --------------------------------------------------------------- ***Deadlines: 6/7/2012 Sponsor: National Archives and Records Administration Title: Electronic Records Projects Contact: Nancy Melley, Director for Technology Initiatives Tel: 202-357-5452 Email: nancy.melley@nara.gov Full Program:          http://www.archives.gov/nhprc/announcement/electronic.html Deadline Note: Draft (optional) Deadline: April 2, 2012 Final Deadline: June 7, 2012 SYNOPSIS: The National Historical Publications and Records Commission seeks proposals that will increase the capacity of archivists and archival repositories to create electronic records archives that preserve records of enduring historical value.
